About Andy Thomas
Author of The Truth Agenda
Andy Thomas is one of England's most prolific authors and lecturers on unexplained mysteries, and speaks widely in the UK and abroad.
Andy's latest - and most major - investigation into the mystery realms, The Truth Agenda: Making Sense of Unexplained Mysteries, Global Cover-Ups and Prophecies for Our Times, was first published in 2009, and a revised and updated edition was issued in 2011. The book has been very successful in both alternative and mainstream circles, and has recently been adopted as a sociology textbook at Canada's Vancouver Island University.
Andy is author of seven other books exploring the unexplained, including the acclaimed Vital Signs: A Complete Guide to the Crop Circle Mystery (1998, revised 2002), which has been described by many as the definitive guide to the subject and was nominated for Kindred Spirit magazine's 2002 Best Book award.
Andy's other books include Fields of Mystery: The Crop Circle Phenomenon in Sussex (1996), Quest For Contact: A True Story of Crop Circles, Psychics and UFOs (1997, with Paul Bura), Swirled Harvest: Views from the Crop Circle Frontline (2003), A Oneness of Mind: The Power of Collective Thought and Signs of Our Times (2003), and An Introduction to Crop Circles (2004, revised 2011).
Andy is also author of four books about his historical English home town of Lewes in East Sussex: Streets of Fire (1999), The Lewes Flood (2001), which raised funds for flood victims, Lewes: A Souvenir Guide (2007) and Lewes on the Fifth (2008), which celebrates Lewes's unique and subversive annual Guy Fawkes celebrations. In addition, Andy authored Brighton & Hove: A Pictorial Guide in 2009. Andy has written for many other publications, including Kindred Spirit, and regularly contributes to the popular alternative journal Nexus Magazine.
Andy is the founder of Vital Signs Publishing, which in 2005 produced Geoff Stray's greatly influential and acclaimed book Beyond 2012: Catastrophe or Ecstasy (which Andy edited), exploring the many prophecies, ancient and modern, predicted to follow the year 2012. Andy is also founder of the Changing Times organisation, which holds events to spread alternative views on important political and social issues.
A busy lecturer, Andy is renowned for his striking presentations on the unexplained and global cover-ups. He speaks extensively in England and has also lectured in many parts of the world, including America, Australia, Peru and several European countries. Andy is also co-presenter of The Glastonbury Symposium, one of the UK's biggest and longest-running alternative events, which takes place across three days each summer.
Andy has made numerous radio and TV appearances, including major UK television spots on Richard and Judy, Esther, GMTV, The One Show and Sky's hit series Pineapple Dance Studios. He has also featured in many programmes in countries around the globe, as well as in the US theatrically-released Crop Circles: Quest For Truth.
